CHAPTER 5, PART 11: GRAPHING INVERSE FUNCTIONS

Inverse relation - “undoes” the relation: switches _________ and _________

Finding the inverse from a table:

Example: here is a relation: Here is the inverse of that relation:

Example 2: write the inverse of the relation below:

Relation: Inverse:

Finding the inverse from a graph:

Here is a relation: Here is the inverse of that relation:

List the points as ordered pairs: List the points as ordered pairs:

Example 2: Graph the inverse of the relation shown below:

Example 3: here is a graph of a function (bottom) and its inverse (left).
Ordered pairs: Inverse ordered pairs:

Example 4: here is a graph of a function:

Choose the graph that represents the inverse of this function:

Match each to its inverse
Name _______________________ Inverse Match Name _______________________ Inverse Match
